If there is a way to make Windows expose the video card inputs as IP cameras then ZoneMinder in the VM should be capable of "seeing" them. Otherwise, unique hardware like that typically does not get virtualized by the VMware system.

cordel, The idea of a group order was the intent of my original post, but a group purchase of 2 cards isn't really going to be of much help. Too bad, I would have thought there would have been more interest in this. Page views don't count as interest in my book. Especially if getting stuck with a ...

ProVideo will be at the security conference next month and I plan on going and meeting with them. I was thinking that it might be an opportunity to pickup some product without all the payment and shipping hassles when this is done in Taiwan. If there is interest, let me know. I will contact them ...

one thing I noticed was that your system looked to go into a 9 pane montage mode( black image though ). When I added a 4th camera( color, 2 NTSC-B/W, 1 USB set to Grey ) to my system, I would get a 3 pane montage and sometimes a 9 pane montage for the camera live stream when I tried to use any color ...

It's the 8 port( I can only use 4 ) Kworld 800 model with the bt878 chip( just one ). FYI, I saw the post about newegg.com having a cheap cature card and saw that they have both the Kworld 800 and 400 models. Looking at the pictures, it looks like the 800 has a small chip and the header( ext 4 ports ...

hmm, swapped camera 1 with camera 3 and the whole system locked up. After putting the cameras back and rebooting( couldn't even ssh in ) I no longer get the 3 little images in camera 3, it now works( only grey but that's a shmem issue ). weird. Oh, when it locked up after swapping Cam1 with Cam3 ...

Hi, The update from .4 to .5 does change the event path from /var/www/html/zm/events/cameraName to /var/www/html/zm/events/cameraId though the cameraName path is left there as an alias, though nothing should be using it. It's possible that if zmupdate fell over during the database update then this ...

I figure there are a few out there who, like me, used the ZM liveCD to get going with ZM. I wanted to post what I found when updating to v1.19.5: FYI, updating a ZM LiveCD install from v1.19.1 to v1.19.5 requires using the "root" ID for mysql updates. When running zmupdate.pl, zm_user didn't work ...

I've got 2 B/W NTSC cameras working and just tried to add a color camera but what I get is a green washed picture selecting YUV422P. But get this, when I select RGB24, I get 3 images repeated in the upper 1/3rd of the video display area. I was running with v1.19.1 but upgraded to v1.19.5 to see if ...

Good to see this subject come up. One of the first projects for ZM I am considering diving into is a Mozilla/XUL interface to give ZM the polished look like the example JPEG posted. I'm not sure when I'll get to it since I have some other food-on-the-table projects with higher priorities. The 2nd ...

I'm wondering if you found a bug in ZM which caused you to purchase a watchdog board? Or is it just an extra level of protection, like putting the system on a UPS, setting the BIOS to restart on powerfail, installing on JFS, etc?

Well, there is no external antenna or connector, so it still won't work :) I also have WiFi in my house, in fact my ZM box is running wireless with NDISwrapper... I haven't seen any issues with phone/WiFi interfering with each other... Kevin no antenna? oh well, all I can say is I tried. Most ...

The cameras I am talking about are 2.4Ghz spread-spectrum wireless, not 802.11 ethernet (aka WiFi), so that is not a choice here. Kevin I'll check but I could swear that both WiFi and Bluetooth are 2.4GHz spread-spectrum formats. If so, the same antenna designs should work but that bit about the AP ...

Might I suggest one of those homemade directional antenna configurations. Some are made with potato chip cans IIRC. Since your camera is not moving, putting a directional antenna on it should block out a large precentage of your noise unless your AP is what is the problem. If the AP is the problem ...

That's great Sean but I sure hope we hear how this could have happened and why. There was another thread about a guy who's box would keep rebooting and it seemed to have been a toss up between it being a mobo problem or a memory problem. They were saying ASUS was bad but I have ASUS and not problems ...
